  • Day X Marks the Calendar: Julian Assange’s “Final” Appeal

    Julian Assange’s wife, Stella, is rarely one to be cryptic. “Day X is here,” she posted on the platform formerly known as Twitter.  For those who have followed her remarks, her speeches, and her activism, it was sharply clear what this meant.  “It may be the final chance for the UK to stop Julian’s extradition.  […]

  • Palestinians’ Superior Right to Self-defence is Ignored, as Usual

    The UK’s leaders are tying themselves in knots in their desperate attempt to defend the indefensible. In a debate on Israel and Palestine in Parliament last week, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Affairs Leo Docherty got up and said: There is no scenario in which Hamas can be allowed to control Gaza […]

  • Cardinal Crimes: Absolute Rule and Fleecing the Holy See

    Like a bank with branches everywhere, the Catholic Church will go after its own when circumstances permit, wherever they are.  In other instances, it will take the opposite tack, shielding the detractors or deviants from local scrutiny, and concealing them from the burden of accountability. Italian Cardinal Giovanni Angelo Becciu, former adviser to Pope Francis […]

  • Letter from India: Stop World Health Organization’s “Pandemic Preparedness” Tyranny

    Letter from India: Stop World Health Organization’s “Pandemic Preparedness” Tyranny

    The global pandemic preparedness accord (‘pandemic treaty’) currently being put in place by the World Health Organization (WHO) will pave the way for “a fascist approach to societal management.” The beneficiaries will be unscrupulous corporations and investors whom the COVID‐19 response served well. This will result in the loss of human rights and individual freedom. […]

  • We’ve Already Got a Dictator-in-Chief: How Absolute Power Corrupted the President

    We’ve Already Got a Dictator-in-Chief: How Absolute Power Corrupted the President

    Once a dictator, always a dictator. Power-hungry, lawless and steadfast in its pursuit of authoritarian powers, the government does not voluntarily relinquish those powers once it acquires, uses and inevitably abuses them. Likewise, any presidential candidate who promises to be a dictator on day one, if elected, will be a dictator-in-chief for life. Then again, the […]

  • Censoring Israeli Violence: Western Media Outlets Capitulate

    The cathedral of censorship is a vast, airy one.  In its embrace, texts are abridged, images removed, ideas scrubbed.  Historical inconveniences are filed and rendered inaccessible.  The only sermons tolerated will be those satisfying and serving the dictates of power. The power Israel disproportionately wields here, notably across a number of Western democratic states, is […]

  • Your Enemies Destroyed One Palestine; My Wounds Populated Many Palestines

    Malak Mattar (Palestine), A Life Stolen Before It Had Begun, 2023. The indecency of the phrase ‘humanitarian pause’ is obvious. There is nothing humanitarian about a brief interlude between bouts of horrendous violence. There is no true ‘pause’, merely the calm before the storm continues. We are witnessing the bureaucratisation of immorality, the use of […]

  • Actuarial Justice: Released Refugees and Secondary Punishment

    In most instances, the justice system of a liberal democracy presumes absence of arbitrary and cruel treatment by the State. Punishment, when levelled, is finite. It might see out the term of a convict’s natural life, but that would only be for the most extreme cases. Even then, the whiff of parole, while far off, […]

  • Gaza: The Masks are off

    As the genocide in Gaza resumes, it becomes ever more clear that the Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood”, launched by the Palestinian Resistance on October 7, and the events that followed, have not only destroyed the prestige of the Israeli army: they completely unmasked the hypocrisy of the West, who is not only silent but accomplice of […]

  • Banished from Pakistan: Islamabad Moves on Afghan Refugees

    Across the globe, refugees, always treated as the pox of public policy, continue to feature in news reports describing anguish, despair and persistent persecution.  If they are not facing barbed wire barriers in Europe, they are being conveyed, where possible, to third countries to be processed in lengthy fashion.  Policy makers fiddle and cook the […]
